2013 TREOS Estate Elegant Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 200 cases, $35. Released November 2016. Five Dijon clone mix. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Charming perfume of fresh cherry fruit and cedary oak. Impressive attack and length with a silky as well as juicy character that is very easy to like. The mid weight core of boysenberry fruit is complimented by a deft touch of oak and the tannins are finely tuned. Clearly the best wine to date from this producer and a good value. Score: 91.

2013 TREOS Estate Founder’s Choice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.7% alc., 125 cases, $35. Released November 2016. 2 Dijon clones. The biggest, boldest, most “bad-ass” expression of Pinot Noir that Dave can achieve. Targeted at consumers who like the body and texture of Rhone reds and Brunellos, while maintaining the black cherry, dark plum flavor profile of Pinot Noir. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The sweetly aromatic nose offers scents of dried cherry, plum, herbal tea and oak. Mid weight flavors of dark cherry, black raspberry and savory herbs satisfy. Modest tannins and oak support the fruit load that displays good intensity on the dry, but not bitter finish. Not as “bad-ass” as the 2012 version and more appealing to me. Score: 88.

2012 TREOS Estate Elegant Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

15.0% alc., 170 cases, 500 ml., $48. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Shy aromas of a dark fruit medley lead to a mid weight styled wine with ripe but not particularly sweet black fruit flavors. Fruit driven with little nuance, but delivers a hedonistic fruit experience. Silky in the mid palate, with mild astringency on the fruit-intense finish.(Consistent with review of August 2014 with same score) Score: 89. Reviewed January 16, 2017 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2012 TREOS Estate Founder’s Choice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

15.5% alc., 195 cases, 500 ml., $48. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Sweet black fruit aromas with hints of port and cognac and slight volatile acidity. Sweet, ultra ripe fruit flavors with soft tannins and integrated alcohol. Drinks more like a dessert wine with the sweetness coming from fruit and alcohol, not sugar. Well-done in the intended style but not my style. (This wine is less appealing to me now than when reviewed in August 2014 when it was scored 88 and probably is not a long-lived wine) Score: 86.

2011 TREOS Estate Elegant Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.4% alc., $48. Dijon Clones. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Fragrant upon opening with aromas of black cherry, sous-bois and complimentary oak. The succulent purple and black fruits fill the mouth with goodness and are quite sappy for this vintage. Very juicy, with harmonious tannins, a welcome touch of toasty oak, and a satisfying finish.

2011 TREOS Estate Founder’s Choice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.4% alc., $48. Estate grown. A blend of three Dijon clones. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Dark orchard and berry fruit aromas fill the glass. Classy and polished, with a load of delicious purple and black fruits complimented by deft barrel work and enough refined tannins and acidity to age nicely. Like the Elegant Reserve bottling, the fruit concentration is unusually grand for this vintage. Score: 92. Reviewed December 12, 2015 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2010 TREOS Estate Elegant Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 859 bottles, $48. Yield 0.72 tons per acre. Harvest date October 20, 2010. Harvest Brix 21.9º. Aged 6 months in 3-year, dry-aged French oak barrels. Fined with Bentonite, no filtering. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Enticing aromas of red and black cherries, baking spices and vanilla. More pinotosity singing in this wine with a tasty core of redder fruits with an earthy, grilled mushroom undertone. Moderately rich with supple tannins, bright acidity, and a huge finish that fans out over 30 seconds. Still currently reserved and will benefit from more cellaring. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine displayed more bright fruit, more crispness and an even longer finish. Score: 90.

13.0% alc., 898 bottles, $48. Yield 0.70 tons per acre. Harvest date October 13-14, 2010. Harvest Brix 22º. Aged 6 months in 3-year, dry-aged French oak barrels. Fined with Bentonite, no filtering. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Big aromas of black cherry, earthy flora, truffle and a hint of menthol, and big flavors of dark cherries, black raspberries and spice with a slight roasted fruit taste in the background. The oak is evident but supportive, the mouthfeel is soft and luxurious, and the dry finish displays some power and persistence. A big gulp of Pinot. Score: 88.
